Examines the care of older people from a holistic viewpoint, arguing that all of geriatric care - physical, psychological, spiritual and psycho-social - is, or should be, intended to improve the overall quality of life for older people. Discusses the many different challenges older people face, including physical difficulties, psychiatric problems, learning difficulties, and lifelong disability. Also looks at the cultural aspects of ageing, and uses case studies to provide examples of how and why quality of life can and should be improved. Includes a section on the use of music therapy.
